That means data across populations of patients can be analyzed to find what treatments are most effective or to get early warnings on dangerous drug interactions.
In addition to mean data, quantitative measures of distributions across a population can be obtained using techniques such as flow cytometry that measure expression in single cells.
The QTL analysis was performed with trait mean values from individual season (PR06, PR07 and PR08) data, and with across season mean data (AV) for each trait as detailed in our recent publication [ 67].
The absence of a reference standard means data cannot be pooled across industry sectors, geographical areas, demographic groups etc., limiting the ability to evaluate the true social and economic impact of upper limb MSDs [ 9].
To determine whether any of the biofilm-related phenotypic traits were correlated, mean quantitative data across each phenotype were compared using a paired two-tailed t-test assuming unequal variance.
Mean performance data across all courses.
The experimental data matrix, X, constituting the mean expression data across all the growth factor conditions is analyzed using the algorithm elaborated in Methods section.
The first method used C. elegans spike-in reference, to control for differing efficiencies of RNA isolation and individual qPCR runs, and the second method used global normalization, whereby the mean expression data across the plate are used to normalize individual values.
The EQ formalism has been suggested as a means to integrate data across systematic studies and with phenotypes and genetics of model organisms [15], [16], [17].
The prime purpose of ontologies, such as the GO, is to address these arising challenges in biology and biomedicine and provide a means to integrate data across multiple heterogeneous databases.
